Wine, Art, and Culture
A little-known secret in Folsom is the Second Saturday art walk, a monthly gathering that takes place in historic Sutter Street. A few hundred visitors flock to 8 different showcases throughout the evening, making it large enough to be enjoyable, yet not intimidating.Labels: art, events, Sutter Street

Gourds Everywhere
The Gourd Festival is going on right now, which is actually a big deal. The West Coast Gourd Festival is going on all weekend at City Park, and thousands of gourd artists will be on hand to sell handcrafted gourds, art supplies, and dried gourds. If nothing else, it's fun to see what people can do with a dried vegetable!

Sutter Street's Hidden Charm
Those of us who live in Folsom already know the plethora of amenities that await us on Sutter Street. In addition to its western charm, the street is well known for many art stores, antique dealers, and eateries that make it such a fun place to shop or dine.

Railroad Block Fate Undetermined
What will become of the Railroad Block area, currently a parking lot by the Chamber of Commerce? It could be several things - mixed use for light rail, residential, retail and office; an entertainment hub with a theater, art galleries and shops; or even a scaled back development that's mostly parking. Folsom Depot (currently where the Chamber is) is a hot topic however, as 3 out of 5 proposals involve moving it. More in the Bee.Labels: art, Railroad Block, railroads
